But the chaos only begins there. A mysterious stranger named Peter (Peter Dinklage) shows up, claiming to have been the deceased’s secret homosexual lover. He demands a large sum of money in exchange for keeping scandalous photos quiet. What ensues is a farce of mistaken identity, a valium-laced friend hallucinating on the roof, a flying corpse, and a dwarf trapped inside a coffin that won't close.
★★★★☆ (4.5/5 for the Hindi dub experience) Verdict: Bahut hard. This is how you do a desi dub right.
The Hindi dub taps into this cultural resonance. You stop seeing the characters as British aristocrats and start seeing them as your own eccentric relatives. The regret of the eldest son, the snobbery of the younger brother, the greed of the outsider—these are universal, but when spoken in Hindi, they hit home. Absolutely. If you have only seen Death at a Funeral in English, you have seen a great film. But if you watch Death at a Funeral Hindi dubbed , you are watching a great Indian comedy hiding inside a British skin.
